When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something." - Steve Jobs - +++++ Here is the test to find whether your mission on earth is finished. If you're alive, it isn't. - Richard Bach - ++++ OLYMPIC TWITTER FEVER Why oh why did HeeHoo decide to take me to a remote mountain retreat during the Olympics I ask you with tears in my eyes? Here we are dying to watch Kirsty and our six other Zimbabwean Olympic athletes and we have no telly or even radio! BUT NEVER FEAR TWITTER WAS THERE!! Yes, we watched a whole week of the 2012 Olympics on Twitter....... Its actually quite fun if you know your way around the twits and tweets and also if you have a few friends that are twits! Kirsty Coventry, our very own Golden Girl was swimming at the time and the entire nation was behind her, so we "hash tagged' her on Twitter and every one of her races was there for us to follow virtually verbatim! We also followed several of our neighbouring countries' athletes too and Africa was represented in an extraordinary fashion in many disciplines and can definitely hold its head up high. Its actually quite fun being glued to a four by four inch screen, not quite the same as being glued to the telly, but crowding round an iPhone en masses was most jovial and illuminating. It was easy to follow Kirsty as she was almost "trending" and if one was at a loss for a stroke-by-stroke description, one could look for tweets via many quarters including our esteemed Sports Minister David Coltart. His dedication to our Olympic team was truly remarkable and he tweeted regularly and with an infectious enthusiasm that had us all gripped with Olympic Fever. Then of course there are the Twitter clowns and pundits- like Kevin McCallum - Chief Sportswriter for the Star in South Africa. Kevin has the most amazing wit and is swift to pick up every nuance, irony and subtlety in all things. Following him on Twitter has been an edifying experience. It's amazing just how much spirit and enthusiasm one can garner from the tiny screen of an iPhone when one needs to. Pictures were painted for us by other people's tweets that were clever, evocative and wonderfully illustrative as we had mental visions of our young athletes as they extorted mind, body and will to "Be the Best". ++++++ NOTICES AND EVENTS MATABELELAND SQUASH RACKET ASSOCIATION SAFEGUARD ZIMBABWE SQUASH OPEN 2012 DATE : FRIDAY 10TH - 12TH AUGUST VENUE : SUBURBS SQUASH CLUB, 20 PAULING ROAD REGISTRATION : 2PM FRIDAY 10TH AUGUST ENQUIRIES : MELODY 0773946423 / melmwete@gmail.com Want to find out more about blood donation, test your BP, donate a pint of blood Then come on down to Suburbs Squash Club during the Zim Open.

NORTH BY NORTHWEST Thursday 9 August in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m. Rated by many as Hitchcock's best film North by Northwest stars Cary Grant, Eve Marie Saint and James Mason. 'Roger Thornhill is not a spy. And he's certainly no murderer. Nevertheless, he's a wanted man: enemy agents want him dead; the police want him arrested; and a cool, mysterious blonde just plain wants him. Thornhill embarks on a death-defying race for his life, and the pursuit includes the iconic scene with the crop-dusting plane and the climactic chase on Mount Rushmore'. 'One of the all-time great entertainments.' [Maltin's 2012 Movie Guide] Supper available from 6.00 p.m. Admission: $3.00 [free to film members] MASSENET: THAIS Friday 10 August IN THE Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. Jules Massenet died a hundred years ago on 13 August 1912 and, if there is one piece by him that everyone knows, it's the Meditation from Thais, but here's an opportunity to see the opera from which it comes. Renee Fleming triumphs as the glamorous courtesan in the romantic tragedy based on the novel by Anatole France set in fourth-century Alexandria and the deserts surrounding it. The timeless struggle between earthly desire and spiritual redemption finally destroys the resolve of the monk Athanael (Thomas Hampson), just as the newly penitent Thais is welcomed to heaven. 'A vocally sumptuous and unabashedly scene-stealing Thais.' [New York Times]' Supper available during the interval. Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING Thursday 16 August in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m. "The Lord of the Rings" needs no introduction and the three epic films will be shown monthly in August, September and October in the extended versions including scenes deleted from the cinema release. In "The Fellowship of the Ring", Frodo, with the help of a courageous band of friends and allies, embarks on a perilous mission to destroy the legendary One Ring. Hunting Frodo are servants of the Dark Lord, Sauron, the Ring's evil creator and, if he succeeds in reclaiming the Ring, Middle-Earth is doomed. 'Intelligent and beautifully executed... with phenomenal production values and a fine cast led by Ian McKellen, perfect as the wizard Gandalf.' [Maltin's 2012 Movie Guide] Other dates: 13 September and 11 October Supper available from 6.00 p.m. Admission: $3.00 [free to film members] SHOSTAKOVICH: BOLT / CHERRY TOWN Friday 17 August in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. A double-bill of ballet and operetta by the great, gloomy Shostakovich that is fun from beginning to end! "Bolt" was a ballet to a politically correct story that fell foul of the authorities and had only one performance in Shostakovich's lifetime. It was finally revived by the Bolshoi 74 years later in 2005 and an instant success. "Cherry Town" comes from a quarter of a century later in 1957 and is a genuine operetta full of catchy tunes. The film was made in 1963 and there is little that 'differentiates it from standard 1950s Hollywood fare featuring the likes of Doris Day or Bing Crosby, though the lunacy of some of the set pieces is more reminiscent of the silent era. Highlights include a preposterously costumed dance number in a half built apartment, a construction site and on a crane. Supper available during the interval. Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] +++++ ROSES AND RASPBERRIES HILLSIDE DAMS FUN RUN & RIDE A huge thankyou to Hillside Dams and their staff as well as everyone who helped the event run smoothly.

Well done gals!! ++++++ On Friday 3 August two men one tall and fairly slim the other short and quite large walked into the office with a short large woman. The woman asked for a glass of water while the men walked into the showroom. I tended to the men in the showroom who pretended to be there separately, who were constantly talking over each other, basically distracting me. When we were done in the showroom we walked out to the office when I noticed the lady was no longer there. This was virtually not even two minutes. The men left and I went over to my bag and immediately noticed that my purse was missing. I ran outside and the whole lot of them had vanished.. I lost close on $400 in a matter of two minutes. I am told that the exact same crew went to Wayne's butchery in Hillside but this time stealing the whole handbag. If people can be aware of their description and tactics maybe this lot can be caught out. R.C.

This was initially due to the inspiration of Lindsay Sherman and Alex Reed who have used Trivia evenings to fundraise for two years in Sydney. After the event in 2012, a group of people offered to help. The result is we have a great team emerging which is energized and focused. On the board we have : Steve Pulman, Jenna Harris, Craig Marshall, Lindsay Sherman, Kevin Gillett, Leanne Bray, myself and Robert Beckinsale who represents ZANE UK on the Australian board. Tom Benyon (OBE), who founded ZANE in the UK in 2002, is the Patron of ZANE Australia . ZANE Australia is able to receive donations and arrange fundraising events. We will be able to move any money raised directly to Zimbabwe in a systematic way. In the future we hope to achieve Deductable Gift Recipient DGR) status with the Australian government. There are strict guidelines and outcomes that need to be met and measured over several years,so hence it is a long process to achieve.This means that your donations will not be deductible at this stage. Inside Zimbabwe the situation for pensioners goes from bad to worse. The retirement homes are our core concern and our primary aim is to keep them open and functioning as efficiently as possible. We also are involved in work amongst the poorest communities. Tom Benyon has done a herculean task of fundraising all these years, but even his efforts are not enough anymore. ZANE Australia is happening at the right time. Please urgently consider renewing the donation plan you initiated for ZANE in the past.We need it now more than ever. As before, a regular monthly donation will help us to make regular future commitments to our beneficiaries.

Avoca Vale is apparently an ' idyllic spot in Ireland', and we found this charming hotel a tranquil place to stay with lovely gardens and a swimming pool for warmer weather. We were welcomed with delight by some of the Staff who come from our own country, who were so happy to see us & chat about "home'. We sampled the Ladies Bar ....

Help is now available for students at schools, in group sessions or individually.

Two sessions of 'The Key to Passing Examinations' Programme will be run in the August holidays and will focus on: Overcoming obstacles that lead to failure in examinations Reinforcing good personal and study habits Dealing with examination related s tress - physical and intellectual Drawing up a study timetable and adhering to it - the value of time management Identifying the facts about examinations and what examiners look for The SQ3R method of study - a practical and useful method of study Specific guidelines on techniques in the exam room and on tackling the answering of various types of exam questions Presentation - use of laptop / data projector / power point / extensive graphics and examples / e beam where applicable - students end up with a personalized action plan for their own retention and future use. Teachers and parents welcome to attend. Duration - One morning 9 am to 12.00 noon (refreshments provided during a short break) Previews can be arranged by appointment.
